Newquay, Fowey, Padstow and Tintagel.
We opened Newquay in July 2014, Fowey in June 2015, Padstow in October 2015, and Tintagel in May 2019.
Joel: I never thought I would own my own pantry. [Despite being son of the founder,] in my youth I was never interested in the business (except from eating the fudge…).
It was only in my mid 20s upon returning from living on the other side of the world that Mary and I made the decision to get into the fast-paced fudge industry.
Favourite part of being a franchisee is the happiness of our customers, and sharing memories with them. Everyone is happy in our fudge shops!
My favourite fudge flavour is Salted Maple and Pecan, although that changes to Christmas Pudding at that time of year.
Mary’s favourite fudge is Black Forest Gateau which is only made as a limited edition.
Our manager Lisa held a 24hr fudge marathon, where she made fudge through the night alongside her sister, to raise money for The British Heart foundation.
We have served a number of celebrity customers, employed Dawn French’s daughter, and met royalty at shows we have attended.
All our pantries come up with a brand new flavour every week, some come and go, and some stay.
A flavour that has stood the test of time in Padstow is ‘Dark and Stormy’, a fudge based on the popular cocktail, made using Rum and Ginger.
In our newest pantry, Roly’s Fudge Tintagel, we will be collaborating on new flavours with local businesses in the town.
We also sell a range of great Callestick Farm ice cream to go alongside our fudge.
